A Successful and Remarkable Life.
DR.. Thomas III. Maddox, of Alexandria, La,
arrived here on Monday afternoon on visit
to his nephew, Dr. Chas. ]. Maddox. DIR.
Maddox is in the 95th year of his age He
was born in Charles county Nd, in Feb.
ruary, 1893. In 1910 he went to Montser-
rat,.one of the West India Islands, where
he was q student of medicine in the office
Of DR.. Benjamin Harris. In 1918 he COM
menced course of medicine at Edinburgh,
Scotland, graduating in.1S16. His thesis at
Edinburgh was required to be written in
Latin and his examination was conducted
in Latin. The Doctor returned TO Montser.
rat in 1917, and in the fall of the same year
settled in Charles county, Md. In 1919 he
removed to Matches, Miss, and practiced
medicine for short while, when he was in
duced by friend to remove to and settle at
Alexandria, La, his. present place Of resi-
dence. For ten years after settling at Alex
andria he followed very closely his profess
sion, after which he went to planting. At
the opening OF the war the Doctor was
wealthy man, and is still substantially fixed.
The Doctor was three days and nights on
his trip, experiences not the slightest fatigue
from the long and arduous journey, but was
unfortunate enough to have $500 taken from
his pocket whilst asleep in the Pullman car.
AT this advanced age the Doctors mind is
as clear as the ring of silver dollar, is up
with the progress vi the age and writes and
speaks with remarkable force, fiuency and
correctness He rctres at O'Clock and rises
at daybreak, and seldom, il ever, lying down
during the day. He enjoys company, fond
Of reading and travelling, and boasts that "he
never chewed or smoked tobacco or drank
grog."
DR.. Maddox will remain with his nephew
for several days, when he will visit other
relatives in Maryland and Virginia before
returning to his Southern home, which We
hope he may reach "safe and sound"
